Yuan Yi raised his hand to support him and said a few words. However, because of the surging waves, his voice was completely drowned out by the surging current. He had no choice but to circulate his internal energy and said, "No matter what, let's leave first! Ask my father to take a look at Ruoyu. There will definitely be a way to cure him. " The Shangguan Yaohua lovingly looked at Ping Ruoyu. His fingers tugged at the corner of Yuan Yi's clothes as he hurried forward with every step he took.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the secret passage, another huge wave came crashing down. The two of them were pushed back several steps. Yuan Yi crossed his palms and struck to both sides. With his internal energy, he forcefully opened a path in the surging water and pulled the Shangguan Yaohua in. The original Manor Head also pulled the two of them in. The five of them had not walked far when they suddenly heard an earth-shattering sound from behind them. All kinds of hard objects were shattered one after the other. The four great clans must have been completely submerged by the sea.
The seawater flooded every corner of the hall and poured in through the entrance of the secret passage. Apart from the Shangguan Yaohua, all of them were heavily injured and weak. The only one who was healthy was an ordinary person who did not know martial arts. As they ran, they could hear the sound of the seawater pouring in behind them. Among them, Manor Head Ping and the Shangguan Yaohua were both quiet people. Ping Ruoyu was unconscious and did not wake up. Only the original Manor Head and his son encouraged everyone along the way and finally managed to escape.
At the exit was a beach. The large expanse of golden sand was extremely dazzling. Behind them, the waves roared angrily. Looking at it now, it was hard to believe that they had actually escaped from such a deadly situation. They could not help but secretly admire themselves. Among them, only the original Manor Head was the calmest. He was not overwhelmed by the joy of escaping. He looked around and saw that the beach was empty. As far as he could see, he could see everything at a glance. He asked, "Yi 'er, where is Alliance Head Li?"
At this moment, Yuan Yi remembered Li Yijie's matter. However, he was not too worried and said, "I placed him not far away and used my internal energy to open his acupoints. He will wake up soon. Perhaps he left on his own. Who knows? " He couldn't help but look at the sea again. At the end of the horizon, there was a faint flickering light. After looking at it for a long time, his eyes gradually became moist. For the first time, a kind of sadness welled up in his heart.
He remembered that a year ago, for the sake of freedom, he had resolutely escaped from his home and wandered the Jianghu alone. He had finally made a name for himself in the pugilistic world of the Central Plains. Based on what his father had said, he had not brought shame to the clan. He did not forget the joy of victory he felt when he turned around and looked back. His heart was filled with the thought, 'I've finally escaped from this cage. I must make a name for myself before coming back! Let's see what Father has to say! "
However, as time passed, he was now particularly reluctant to part with his life in the manor. The fights in the martial arts world were complicated and unpredictable. Conspiracy after conspiracy. Just what he had experienced a year ago was an ugliness that he did not want to recall.
But now, his home had been completely destroyed. From now on, he had officially become a homeless traveler. Why was his mood so different? He no longer felt the joy of freedom. Instead, bursts of sadness assaulted him from all directions, wrapping around his heart tightly. It seeped in from every crack and was about to shatter his heart into pieces. This was an unprecedented level of sadness. It was a feeling of parting that he thought would never appear on him.
The original manor lord saw through his thoughts and said, "What's wrong, Yi 'er? You can't bear to part with him?" Yuan Yi sighed and said, "I was born in the original manor and grew up under Father's protection. I have never experienced true adversity. I'm afraid that I will have to rely on myself in the future … Therefore, I feel sad. "
The original manor lord replied, "That's right. There is nothing in the world that is unchanging. No one can protect you forever. Even if you are as close as Father, there will be a day when they will leave you. That's why I have repeatedly taught you how to be independent. Even though the manor was destroyed, fortunately, there were no casualties among the four great clans. The entire original land is a new fertile land in front of us, waiting to be developed and created with our own hands. Perhaps this calamity is because God saw that we were too hesitant and wanted to use it to temper us. "
Shangguan Yaohua ignored the father and son's conversation and carefully placed Ping Ruoyu on the ground. He carefully wiped away the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth and pleaded, "Original manor lord, please take a look at her first. Ruoyu … can she be cured? " Manor Lord Ping was feeling guilty towards his daughter. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Yuan, no matter what method you use, as long as you can save Yu 'er, even if it costs my life. I owe this child too much. "
Shangguan Yaohua frowned and looked at him. He was about to say, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?" However, he saw that Manor Lord Ping was frowning. He did not even bother to wipe away the bloodstains on his face. A few strands of messy hair hung loosely on his face and shoulders, making his face look even more haggard. From this point of view, he was just an old man who had done too many wrong things and was now sincerely repentant.
Moreover, things had already come to this point. No matter how much he scolded him, it was useless. For the first time, the two of them stood on the same side. They only hoped that Ping Ruoyu's injuries could be healed.
Manor Lord Ping placed two fingers on Ping Ruoyu's pulse. His expression was alternating between joy and worry. Shangguan Yaohua and the other two people's moods rose and fell along with his expression. Finally, Manor Lord Ping heaved a long sigh and said, "She's still breathing. Fortunately, she woke up in time. However, after the fierce battle just now, I'm afraid that her internal organs are still injured. She forcefully activated her palm and injured her spleen and lungs, causing her to vomit blood and faint. I'll inject some inner energy into her and temporarily keep her breathing. After that, we'll have to go to a big town and find a medical hall with all the necessary medicine to treat her. "
When Shangguan Yaohua heard this, his originally concerned expression immediately turned cold. He turned his head away and remained silent.
Manor Lord Ping felt as if he had been pardoned. He was so happy that tears almost fell from his eyes. He held Manor Lord Ping's hands tightly and said seriously, "Brother Yuan, I really don't know how to thank you. You're simply Yu 'er's benefactor! You're a living Buddha in this world! In the past, I was brave and ruthless and always wanted to compete with you. I was even jealous of your position as the head of the four families. Now, it seems that you're truly worthy of that position. Let's not talk about anything else. You have such a sensible son who's good at looking at the big picture. If it weren't for his quick wits today, I'm afraid that we'd have to accompany Ping Family Manor in eternal slumber. For your son to be able to be like this, it must be because Brother Yuan taught him well. In comparison, I only have a troublemaker daughter who causes trouble from time to time. Just now, she almost put everyone to death. Just based on this point, I've already lost to you. I admit defeat wholeheartedly! "
Manor Lord Ping smiled faintly. Seeing Manor Lord Ping's expression, he was indeed enlightened. If this calamity could make him repent completely and cut off all contact with the Seven Evil Spirits from now on, he would no longer have any thoughts of conquering the Central Plains. Instead, he would be able to calm down and accompany his daughter wholeheartedly. That could be considered a good thing.
Thinking about how Yuan Yi had whispered to him in the secret passage, he glanced at the Shangguan Yaohua who had an extremely unnatural expression. He thought that it was because the young people were shy. Although it was a little embarrassing in front of the elders, it wasn't lacking in straightforwardness and cuteness.
Moreover, he was a prince of the Great Qing Dynasty. Even if Manor Lord Ping despised the poor and loved the rich, he was still worthy of her. He said, "Brother Ping, don't just thank me. There's another person who contributed greatly to saving Yu 'er. You should properly thank him! "
Manor Lord Ping's expression was slightly awkward. However, since he was able to bury the hatchet with the original Manor Lord, there was no need for him to be so calculative with that inexperienced junior. It would seem that he, as an otherworldly expert, was not magnanimous enough. He smiled and said, "Prince Cheng, I have to thank you!"
Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "I don't deserve it. What, you're not scolding me for being a rude and talkative brat? " Manor Lord Ping was in an extremely good mood. He smiled and said, "Prince Cheng is magnanimous. A great person won't fuss over a small person's transgression. How about it?"
Yuan Yi patted Shangguan Yaohua's shoulder and said with a smile, "Your Highness Prince Cheng, I have to have a whole new level of respect for you. To be honest, I've heard a lot of rumors about you in the Jianghu. I only thought that you were a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death, selfish and selfish. In the end, true feelings are revealed in the midst of adversity. Even us relatives have already given up on Yu 'er. Only you have persisted. You've only known her for a few days. It's the first time you've met her, yet you've influenced her so much. I really didn't expect that you're the one who understands her the best. Actually, Yu 'er's nature isn't bad. She would play pranks on you and even pester you. All of this is because she's too lonely and has no one to accompany her. She's like a pot of Epiphyllum, quietly blooming at night and then abruptly stopping. Not many people are able to see its splendid moment. The words you said to her might have touched a soft spot in her heart, or perhaps she's been hurt on this path before … "
Shangguan Yaohua said coldly, "I know that Young Master Yuan is a scholar. You don't have to answer me word by word. Since that's the case, there's no need to beat around the bush. Why don't you just say that I'm a fence-sitter who swings left and right? That's right, I have indeed changed hands a few times, but that was all because of the situation. When survival is reduced to the most humble wish, and everything you do is only for the sake of survival, no matter how much doubt others have, why bother with it? How can a young master like you, who grew up in a greenhouse, understand the misery of those who do everything possible just to stay alive and struggle at death's door? If I can exchange identities with you, then let's see if I've done better than you. In the past, I was unwilling. Why is it that some people have good lives and are born with everything, while others will lose everything no matter how hard they work? Later on, I gradually thought it through. There's no real fairness in this world. You can only rely on your own strength to create your own justice. As for Ruoyu, you don't have to treat me as her savior. I'll save her because I feel that she's very similar to me. We're not strong, but we can rely on our own efforts to not lose to others. In her, it's as if I see many things that I've been chasing for a long time. I can't bear to see her lose her only happiness. It's as if … seeing that she has it, it's as if I also have it. As for you, I don't need any appreciation from you. You're free to see me however you want. "
Yuan Yi said, "You're right. I have a very good impression of you. If you want to be my younger sister's husband, you're barely qualified. Uncle Ping, what do you think? "Shangguan Yaohua's expression was distressed, as if he was trying his best to hide his guilt. He said," Who said I want to be your younger sister's husband? This prince is a relative of the Imperial Family. My marriage was decided by the Imperial Family. What I said to Ruoyu was just to give her some courage to live. "The more he tried to evade, the more flustered his expression became.
Suddenly, he heard Ping Ruoyu coughing twice. A few drops of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Shangguan Yaohua felt his heart tighten. He bent down and picked up Ping Ruoyu. He was still trying to find an excuse, saying, "It's just as well. I'm just about to return to the capital to report to Yifu. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are quite a few truly skilled and famous doctors. I'll ask them to take a look. When the time comes, this money … Manor Lord Ping, I know you're not rich. Just leave the money to this prince. "
Manor Lord Ping said, "I'll go with you!" Seeing the original manor lord and his son looking at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, he hurriedly said, "I can't just watch my daughter, whom I raised with great difficulty, be taken away by a foreign brat like you."
